This marimba offers up game-changing design and sound. Michael J. Burritt, Professor of Percussion at the world-renowned Eastman School of Music, came to Malletech in 2010 requesting a newly designed instrument. He wanted something that reaches low octaves as easy as our Stiletto Marimba, but with a sound as big as our full-sized instruments. He wanted higher highs and lower lows. He wanted a completely new look. What he really wanted was the marimba of the future, NOW. At any other company this would be a pretty tall order, but the folks at Malletech knocked this one out of the park with the Malletech MRA5.0 Roadster Marimba. This beauty features…

Patented Super Smooth Technology (“SST”)

Patented metal-topped resonator tuners

Massive 4-inch diameter slow-bent low resonators

New deep-bass bar geometry

Extremely rigid twin-screw, belt driven height adjustment

Harley look, Stradivarius sound

As if all of this wasn't enough, this marimba also features a gorgeous oak and aluminum construction, fully tunable resonators, and extra-wide rosewood bars. It's obvious to see why some of today's top players choose Malletech.
